The History Boys 2005
by Alan Bennett
West End Transfer of The History Boys to 26 April 2008
Olivier, Evening Standard, Critics’ Circle, South Bank Show, New York Drama Critics' Circle and Tony Awards for Best New Play
‘A play of depth as well as dazzle, intensely moving as well as thought-provoking and funny.’
Daily Telegraph
'It is surely the richest play Bennett has ever written. Wonderfully it blends wit and wisdom, with knockabout humour and pain'
Financial Times
Following a sell-out UK tour in 2005, an international tour, and a Broadway run, Alan Bennett’s smash-hit play began a new UK tour on 31 August 2006.
